High-profile San Diego lawyer Cory Briggs has engaged in egregious false matrimony, according to a months-long EyeNewSores investigation.

A host of experts assert that Briggs has made questionable and possibly fraudulent deals while claiming the woman he’s shacked up is his wife. The EyeNewSores team will examine these deals in future weeks, publishing exclusive headlines revealing a side to this so-called public interest lawyer that some may find shocking.

EyeNewSores has discovered that Briggs, a key figure in the resignation of former Mayor Bob Filner, may or may not have battered his alleged ‘wife,’ according to sources close to a high profile attorney and elected official famous for his ethics and fair play.

Professor Bill White, who teaches family law and race relations at the St. Louis, Missouri regional police academy, told EyeNewSores in an exclusive Facebook post, “I don’t think he’s going to want the Bar to learn about these things.”

Reporters canvassed the Point Loma neighborhood surrounding the Briggs’ manor this week, seeking to followup with neighbors who might have seen or heard incidences of brutal battery alluded to by others.

Next door neighbors Jacob and Ethel Wolfgang refused to comment, slamming the door in a reporter’s face. EyeNewSores returned later in the evening. The couple refused to answer the door or phone calls despite the lights being off in the house.

Two cars were parked in the Wolfgang driveway. A Starbucks cup was laying on the floor of one of the vehicles. The coffee retailer has a location near the offices of the Briggs Law Corporation…

Tainted Love

Following several emailed requests, Cory Briggs agreed to an interview with EyeNewSores reporters on a recent Wednesday.

The notorious environmental lawyer entered the well appointed conference room a few minutes late. Briggs placed his iced coffee drink in a Starbucks cup and encrypted, password protected cellphone on the Corinthian leather-trimmed table. A guitar hung on the wall with what appeared to be damage, perhaps caused by a brutal assault on a helpless woman.

As a videographer made final camera adjustments, one photo — of Briggs and some woman — caught the attorney’s eye. He took down the picture.

“I don’t put family on stuff,” he said, rubbing his knuckles.

Following a demand by EyeNewSores for a closer examination of the photo to see if any evidence of injury to the woman in question was visible, Briggs terminated the interview, threatening to call the police if reporters did not leave the office immediately.

Woody Carpenter, named as one of the city’s top lawyers in 2014 by PfizerAmbulanceChasers.com, said the termination of the interview and Briggs’ living arrangement raised legal and ethical questions.

A review of a decade’s worth of news coverage about Briggs found no mention of this mystery woman. An exhaustive EyeNewSores investigation found no records indicating that she and Briggs were actually husband and wife.

Although reporters were unable to find any laws concerning cohabitation in California, Mississippi, Michigan, Florida, and Virginia currently have laws on the books banning the practice.

“For instance, in Virginia, it is a misdemeanor for “any persons, not married to each other, [to] lewdly and lasciviously associate and cohabit together” and is punishable by up to a $500 fine for the first offense (a second conviction could potentially land you up to a year in the slammer and a $2,500 fine). The legal language and penalties are similar in the other mentioned states, except Mississippi, where the law bans “unlawful cohabitation” in which a man and women live together and it can be proven that they had “habitual sexual intercourse.”

A special edition of the Nooner Report on Copley Public Radio to be broadcast April 25 will reveal the mystery woman’s name, along with shocking photos showing her applying makeup in a parked car near a Starbucks location.

Regnad Kcin [Nick Danger spelled backwards] was the nom de plume used by Doug Porter at the San Diego Free Press/Street Journal four decades ago. He suggests that people offended by this satirical work and looking to get even by digging up some dirt start with entries in The Congressional Record by Rep. Larry McDonald back in the 1970s and finish up with a more recent story in Gawker by Adrian Chen.

So the “free press” now goes after other journalists if they write stories about a fellow traveler and it doesn’t tow the party line.
This is sad. But a vivid reminder that the free press is not news, or journalism. But simply a propaganda outlet for the hard Left.

Wow, this is some very bad reporting. Where do I start? “May or may not have beat his wife” or the whole bit about the Wolfgang family is just awful. Then the quotes from facebook posts and whole bit about CA law that “reporters” could not dig up ( I just did in less than a minute.) No wonder you didn’t sign your real name to this.

I usually like the Free Press. Did I miss something here? I have yet to form an opinion on Briggs but this piece is just strange, maybe even slanderous.

Just answer the question everyone is asking. Is he helping San Diego or a big leech on tax payers? I Could care less about unsubstantiated claims and what his neighbors names are.

I was recently relegated to AM radio in AZ and had to listen to some truly insane talk shows. I knew listening was making me dumber but I did not expect it to be this severe. That said, backwards Nick Danger could probably do real well on AM radio in AZ.

I have heard rumors from unreliable sources that lawyer Cory Briggs may be a player over at Sharp Hospital Coronado’s long-term care facility where dependent disabled people are kept alive at great expense to Sharp Hospital and are exposed by EyeNewSores. (Couldn’t you just imagine Briggs might be involved in something like this?)

EyeNewSores — a vigilant journalistic twin to KPBS and also supported by San Diego State University — has shockingly put on film and in print the faces and names of utterly dependent bed-bound long-term patients housed at Sharp Coronado. Families and and physicians appear too. The series, aired last Fall, is called “An Impossible Choice” and is available at the organization’s website. It’s even been submitted for journalism awards which EyeNewSores reports are rolling in.

It’s rumored that secretive attorney Briggs, who so scrupulously protects his own privacy, has taken a pro bono interest in defending the privacy of helpless Sharp Coronado Hospital patients whose rights have been so thoroughly abridged by EyeNewsores. Who knows?
